I really dont buy that Samus was stronger in 2K5 whatsoever.

One other thing to consider is Chief getting 39% on Crono vs Samus's 70% on Frog. According to 2004 stats Chief almost perfectly lines up with his expected % from 2004 but Frog underperforms by 8% on what you'd expect on the 2004 stats, and that 2005 Master Chief is projected to 60-40 2005 Frog. Chief probably boosted a little between 04 and 05, and Frog was a bit overrated in 04, surely, but that's a bit much.

To me that Frog match has always been suspicious and I suspect part of it may be that there was a refusal to accept the idea that Samus may have boosted cause she lost to Mario

Well that performance on Frog would imply she boosted to almost Link levels if you take it seriously. Considering Frog struggled with Riku, I dont think it means much.

He also did even worse against her twice in 2K7 4-ways, and barely scraped by Axel. I think its obvious Frog wasnt the same in those years. 2K4 was a magical year for him, everything lined up for him from facing choker anti-vote magnet Chief to Solid Shit. Seemed like a possible bandwagon effect to me. It was also the year Crono handily beat Mario.

I really just cant remotely buy this idea Samus boosted in 2K5.
